Reminds me of a game I had two years ago. The forward from team B was complaining that I did not call OTB on a rebound that the girl behind her tipped to herself. I explained to her, exact words: "There is NO SUCH THING as over the back." I then told her why--clean rebound, no contact.

One quarter later, my partner calls her for, you guessed it, OVER THE BACK. He even reported it with what I disaffectionately call the "Frankenstein" signal.

She gave me the OS stare of death. Couldn't blame her!
